it refers to the size of the fish maybe similar to something else in a pair of trowsers. My fishing buddies and I use that term to give each other a hard time about a fish that has little or no appeal to a camera. Example: I am fishing upstream and friend says "FISH ON!" loud enough for everyone to hear then I say, "is it big?" "nope!, just a trowser trout!!". I wont worry about leaving my hole to get a pic for him. I hope that isnt offensive.
